My first Post!!
Hello All!! This is going to be my very first Team Bhp Post. Glad to be here among so many like-minded people and the enthusiasts.
Posting story about my Ford Fiesta Classic 1.6 Petrol. I own a used 2010 Ford Fiesta Classic Petrol with 1.6 L 4 Cylinder mill pushing out around 101 BHP.
ENGINE
The engine is just great, a silent charmer at low speeds and a growler at high RPMs. Engine packs punch and power is very much available from 3000 RPM till redline. Engine never feels out of power at any point post 3000 RPM. From 1000 to 2000 RPM it just provides a calm ride but enough power for quick overtakes. 2nd gear is short and you will need to frequently shift to third. 3rd gear acceleration is good and very useful in city flowing traffic. Car cruises at 80kmph at around 2200 RPM in 5th Gear. Car is very silent till 80kmph, post which engine starts communicating with good notes and road noise starts coming in picture. Triple digit speeds are backed with potent engine packing enough power for enthusiastic ride.
HANDLING
Here comes the gem of all, the handling which is precise and communicative. Steering inputs result in predictable output. At triple digit speeds, you can change lanes, do overtakes and convert emergency steering inputs all with so much confidence and grins obviously. Handling makes it a fun to drive car and one can enjoy every ride. Car remains connected and provides ample feedback.
RIDE
Ride is great. Comfortable ride at any speed and very planted at high speeds. Suspension setup keeps driver and passengers comfortable enough. However, suspension is little hard and keeps you update on road imperfections. At high speeds car just stable and maintains this nature till it’s top speed, complete confidence. Only thing that may unnerve is tire grip and instability in cross winds.
SOUND
Awesome sound quality, amazing bass and clarity makes it a good one for audiophiles.
Current ODO is at 98,200, waiting for 1,00,000. I have done some stickering work on the car to make it stand out little.
Car is engineered fantastic and keeps the driver entertained.
Attaching few photos.
